Ubly wins on Maurer basket at the buzzer

UBLY  Joel Maurer's only basket of the fourth quarter was the most important basket of the fourth quarter for Ubly here Tuesday night against Reese.

The Bearcats rallied from a 47-45 deficit in this Greater Thumb Conference crossover contest, getting a pair of free throws from Mark Recker late, and then a tip-in from Maurer even later  at the buzzer to be exact  to steal a 49-47 victory over the Rockets.

The Bearcats led 15-8 after one quarter, and 24-17 at the half. Reese pulled closer in the third quarter, eventually grabbing the lead late in the game before the Bearcats rallied.

Recker led the Bearcats with 14 points while Dan Weber netted 12 and Grant Pichla nine.
